Victoria Magazine Honest Review-Not impressed!!
I was thrilled to find out this mag was back in circulation!! I immediately went to amazon to find it after having no luck in stores that used to carry it. I ordered and was so excited when I got my first issue....BIG DISAPPOINTMENT...it is nothing like it was in the "good ole days"....There are no articles on the history of the victorian era of why they did things they way they did. Example: Why they used colored stones instead of diamonds for engagement rings, what the colors and types of flowers mean in weddings etc...I have received two issues now and am still not happy, I am not renewing my subscription!! I recommend finding this at a store and looking inside BEFORE subscribing. Your local Sams Club has this mag.
Welcome Back, Victoria!
Where have you been all these years?
After being out of circulation for years, I'm so thrilled that Victoria magazine is back! It was my late mother who first subscribed to Victoria and after reading one of the issues, I was hooked and fascinated. My ex-hubby was stunned the first time he saw my stack of old issues of Victoria and asked me, "Baby, why do you have to keep those old magazines?" He didn't understand the value and the delight it gives me whenever I read the back issues from time to time.
This is one magazine that I thoroughly enjoy reading from cover to cover for all its inspiring and interesting articles, outstanding photography, old-fashioned decorating ideas, travel, recipes and special features, and all the things about this publication. Kudos to Hoffman Media for bringing it back to its readers.
Welcome back, Victoria ... a magazine that is more than just a magazine, it's a classic, romantic and elegant reading material that is meant to be collected rather than thrown out after a few reads like most magazines.
If I were asked to choose only one magazine to take with me on a desert island, it has to be Victoria. If I have to read it over and over again, I would gladly do it. That's how interesting this magazine is.
Victoria adds beauty and grace to any coffee table. Wholeheartedly recommended.
P.S. Please don't leave your readers again!
A Pale Reflection
I am one of the people who agreed with the "Spoiled Princess's" review of Victoria's re-release. There is far less substance, far less magic in the 2008 Victoria magazines than in the ones of the 90's.
The twentieth century had its own Gilded Age in the 1980s and 1990s and Victoria Magazine perfectly reflected that, while at the same time holding a mirror to the Gilded Age of the 1880s and 1890s. It was the perfect marriage of past and present. Maybe Victoria is a true reflection of our times because it does feel to me that the times we live in now are less substantial in a few ways. All frosting and no cake syndrome...
I credit former editor Nancy Lindemeyer and photographer, Toshi Otsuki, among others of the old team for the Victoria I treasure. I guess that makes me a "spoiled princess" too. So, thank you to the old Victoria for spoiling me and for treating me with the high standards suited for a princess.
